Latest Blogs on Home Page · **Released**: 08-29-2007

This will display the last 5 blogs on the home page blow the What's Going On box. See screenshot for example.

Installation is easy, just import the product and make the template edit.

Update 9/2/07: Removed the template edit from the What's going on box and added it below. With the table structure it makes more sense in this modification. If you have already installed it, apply the template edit again.

RSS_Instructions
This is an alternative method to the above that will display the last 10, this was taken from one of the admins over at vbulletin.com that originally wrote it for the latest threads and modified for this. It's display is not as clean but it will not show blogs that are hidden and I have yet to work that out for the above method.

problem :

I drafted up a nice lengthy Blog entry & published it, but had it set to Publish On & set a future time today.

However, even though my Blog entry wasn't yet published & wasn't viewable by browsing to my blog as a guest or any other member, the headline was showing in the Recent Headline Summary on the Forum's Home Page. When the link to that article was clicked, you get a forum page that says:

Invalid Blog specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Basically, it leaks the headline of the Blog entry that was scheduled to be published.

Just installed, thanks!

Thanks

I have done a mix between this hack and l'hack on this page

I attach the product, to show the latest blogs just insert "$latest_blogs" to any template u desire

Is it me or does the blog view counter stops at 99?

BlackPcTuner · #96 01-22-2008, 07:00 AM

i haven't problems with blog view.

Taragon · #97 02-21-2008, 06:07 PM

thanks!
what would be needed to change to show last 10 entries using the original mod?

SoftDux · #98 02-22-2008, 12:39 PM

For which blog is this?

<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_title</td>
<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_views</td>
<td class="smallfont">$spitblogs_date</td>

to this:

Code:

<td class="alt2">$spitblogs_username</td>
<td class="alt1">$spitblogs_title</td>
<td class="alt1">$spitblogs_views</td>
<td class="alt1">$spitblogs_date</td>

Thanks for pointing that out, now it works and shows great.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
